At first, Beluga was a one-man show and was more a research and development laboratory than a full-fledged manufacturer of accessories.

NRSSince we introduced Heavy-Duty straps to boaters over 20 years ago, they've been used for virtually every hold-down application imaginable. Whether you're attaching your boat to your vehicle or your frame to your boat, NRS Straps won't let you down. You can never have too many straps, and ours come in nine different lengths with a handy nametag for your convenience.
For your kayak outfitting needs, NRS flotation has been carefully designed to displace as much water as possible. We use military-spec, 210 denier, urethane-coated nylon fabric rather than PVC because it's lighter and the welds are stronger. Visit Web Site or Request a Catalog

Seattle SportsSeattle Sports grew up in the Puget Sound, a basin of sorts, lodged between two vastly different mountain ranges and engulfed by a landscape jigsawed by lakes, canals, rivers, locks, hills, and regrades. In Seattle, outdoors is everywhere and is ingrained into the everyday lives of the people who inhabit the city, effectively erasing the boundary of outdoor adventure and everyday life. At Seattle Sports, we strive to honor this relationship through the continued creation of superior outdoor gear; gear that speaks to a world where outdoors and everyday are synonymous.Visit Web Site
